Park damages included sprinkler heads, plants and fencing, Collier said. City crews are continuing to make repairs and clean up the park.

“It was past the park hours and we weren’t able to clear the park until after midnight,” Collier said. “Even after that, there were people arriving wanting to go into the park so we had to post police officers throughout the night and have them there to keep people out.”

The cash hunt also posed a problem for police who were handling normal emergency calls.
